Most of the drama involves Hanna, who continues her downward spiral. Hanna was starting to lose control last week in Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Episode 7, but now her situation is just getting annoying.

She and Caleb get drunk every chance they get and she's constantly avoiding her problems instead of speaking up like she has in the past. She hates Alison, but she's not the only one with Ali issues. Why not just speak to her friends about it?

Instead, her behavior is making her seem unreliable and untrustworthy to the other liars, isolating her even more. Now, I don't think it was fair of Aria to attack her after the Zack confession, but Hanna definitely set the scene for that dramatic encounter.

While we're on the subject, the whole Zack-Hanna thing feels like the worst kind of plot contrivance. Zack was this amazing guy not that long ago, but now he's a super creepy?!? What is with it Rosewood and the men chasing teenage girls?

Zack's abrupt shift in characterization indicates either lazy writing or another A-plot. We did just see A steaming open an invitation to the engagement party last week, so could Zack be an A minion or being blackmailed into hitting on Hanna?

Alison also created some superfluous drama by having Noel Kahn break into the Marin household. She was acting very strangely, and, as PLL fans, I'm sure we all knew to be suspicious rather than concerned. So, she needed a parent on her side and thought the best way to accomplish that was with more lies?

She made a good choice in parent since Momma Marin is the most protective, but Ashley's also more astute than some other clueless parents. This stunt may have helped her out with the adults, but it definitely didn't endear her to her friends.

Spencer, Aria, and Emily actually spent their time doing real investigating into Mrs. Di and Bethany's deaths. Aria finds out from Rhonda that Mrs. Di and Bethany had a much more involved relationship than previously thought. Jessica DiLaurentis frequently signed Bethany out of Radley and gave her lots of presents, including a horse.

Spencer and Emily's trip to the stables led them to Melissa's riding helmet, but was that just planted by A?

Throughout these revelations, Spencer was clearly suspicious of Alison's involvement. And after her stunt at the Marin house, the other girls are looking a little concerned as well.

So, do you think Alison knew about Bethany?

Of course she did. Probably not. She knew something, but nothing definite.

I liked this episode!Except for one item: Why did they have to make Zack a creep? It made me think that he is working with A, but then I remembered that A opened that invitation last week, so A may be blackmailing Zack into hitting on Hannah in order to isolate her from her friends and make Hanna the next target as Hanna did not get that text last week so I think that A is really trying to get the girls to turn on Hanna. Okay now I have a thought, Ali is really A and since Hanna seems to be the only one that is being mean to Ali, Ali wants her gone and so she is doing all this to Hanna! I like the idea of Toby being a cop!Emily is cluing into the fact that Sydney can't be trusted. It will be a matter of time before she connects her to A.Ali is up to her old tricks, that little look on her face when she told Em and Spencer that she had Noel pretend to be A so that Ashley would believe her, just proves there is always more to Ali and what she is up to. Makes me think even more that my theory is right!I still say that Bethany was Ali's twin.
